The streets of Guilin City were bustling, and there were all sorts of stalls selling all sorts of snacks.
"Mutant Pork Skewers! Delicious Mutant Pork Skewers! One skewer for 2 rations! Definitely delicious, the real deal!! "
"Authentic Ning County Snacks! The taste can't be stopped, everyone come and have a taste!! "
"… …."
On the streets, there were stalls selling snacks everywhere, and many people were attracted by the aroma of the food, as they pulled out their rations and tried the various delicacies.
Within Guilin City, there were 2 government departments, and outside, there was Du Shan Xiong leading the troops to clear out the zombies, allowing Guilin City to maintain a semblance of stability. Hence, the city was slowly regaining its vitality.
Along the way, Yue Zhong discovered that the 40 jin of rations in his hands was equivalent to about 400 RMB before the apocalypse. In this post-apocalyptic world, it was already a huge sum of money.
After a few rounds, Yue Zhong came to the busiest Xinyang Street, and discovered that there were all sorts of Mutant Plants, Mutant Beast Meat, Mutant Beast bones, Mutant Beast scales and other items that were related to Mutant Beasts and Mutant Plants.
These things were all powerful lone rangers. Many of the resource searching teams had encountered Mutant Beasts in the wild and had come to hunt for them. Even if it was an ordinary person, as long as they set up a trap beforehand, even if they were armed with cold weapons, they could still hunt and kill a powerful Mutant Beast. The reason why humans could become the overlords of Earth was because of their intelligence.
"How much for this?" Yue Zhong walked up to a stall, and picked up an unknown nucleus as he asked the stall owner. He could tell at a glance that this was a nucleus that could only be formed from Mutant Beasts of Level 40 and above. The only use for such nuclei was to feed Mutant Beasts, allowing them to become stronger.
The stall owner looked at Yue Zhong, and his spirit was roused, as he called out enthusiastically: "5 jin of rations!!"
The nuclei of Mutant Beasts were initially thought to be good stuff, but as time passed, the nuclei of Mutant Beasts were not used by anyone. Hence, they became mere decorations, and there were even teams that dug out the nuclei after killing Mutant Beasts and threw them on the ground.
Yue Zhong frowned and rejected: "These things are just for show! Why are you asking for such a high price? This thing can only be used as a decoration. One grain ticket, are you selling it? "
The stall owner enthusiastically recommended it to Yue Zhong: "Boss, although this thing is useless, it's like a beautiful stone. But look how beautiful it is! It was useless now, but once the situation stabilized, it might be able to fetch a higher price than the Bloodstone! If you buy it now, you'll be rich in the future when it rises! If it wasn't for the fact that I was waiting for rice to be cooked, I definitely wouldn't have sold it! Since you really want to buy it, I will give you a discount. Two catties of food stamps will do! "
Yue Zhong hesitated for a while before pulling out a 10 jin ticket and handed it to the stall owner: "Fine! Just two catties of food stamps! "
"Idiot! In this world, no matter how beautiful these useless stones were, they couldn't compare to one or two grains of rice. This stupid second generation ancestor! "The stall owner took the 10 jin worth of rations from Yue Zhong, and ridiculed him in his heart.
The stall owner handed the nuclei and 8 jin of rations to Yue Zhong, before asking enthusiastically: "Oh yes!! Boss! Do you still want these nuclei? If you want them, I can help you to buy some!! If you want more than 10, I can even give you a 20% discount!! "
In this market, those who knew the ropes could use a few taels of food stamps to buy a nuclei. The stall owner was extremely familiar with the place, and it was rare to find a fat sheep that didn't know the ropes to be slaughtered, and he immediately became excited. In Guilin City, there were many survivors who had fled from other places, and they deeply understood how painful it was to go without food. Under such circumstances, if they could earn more food stamps, their future would be more secure.
Yue Zhong pretended to think for a while, before nodding: "En! Sure, I'll buy another 20! No matter how many there are, it's useless! "
"20!! Please wait a moment! " The stall owner immediately became excited, as he spoke to Yue Zhong, before leaving his worthless stall, and got someone to take care of it, while he himself continued to make his way through the market.
Not long after, the stall owner excitedly grabbed a huge bag and ran in front of Yue Zhong, revealing a myriad of nuclei: "Boss!! A total of 36! Please check and accept! "
Yue Zhong pretended to be shocked: "I didn't just want 20. How did you get 36 nuclei? "
The stall owner continued to try to dupe Yue Zhong: "Boss! You're a businessman, how can 20 be enough? The 36 nuclei here are already all the nuclei in the entire street. If you buy them all at once, you'll have monopolized the crystal nucleus business on this street. At that time, however high the price of the Crystal Nucleus is, it will be up to you to decide! Even if you sell them for 20 jin of food, no one will compete with you!! If you can pull off this huge business, your family will definitely look at you in a different light. "
Yue Zhong had an excited look on his face, as he handed the 40 jin of food stamps to the stall owner: "That makes sense!! Fine, I'll buy them all! "
The stall owner received the 40 jin of food stamps, and his expression turned ugly: "This, this doesn't seem to be enough!!"
"Is this enough?" Yue Zhong chuckled, as he pulled out a Chunghwa cigarette from his backpack and handed it to the stall owner.
The stall owner immediately snatched the Chunghwa cigarette and said: "Enough!! Enough!! These are all yours!! "
In Guilin City, due to the fact that the production of cigarettes had stopped, tobacco was considered a luxury item, and was only used by the upper class. If this Chunghwa cigarette were to be exchanged for food stamps at the government's luxury goods agency, one Chunghwa cigarette could be exchanged for 100 catties of food stamps. That stall owner had already made a huge profit just by getting a carton of Chunghwa cigarettes.
Yue Zhong looked at the stall owner and said: "Since you've accepted my Chunghwa cigarette, then my food stamps …."
The stall owner laughed, as he grabbed the Chunghwa cigarette tightly, while returning the food stamps to Yue Zhong: "I'll return them to you!! I'll return them to you!! "
Yue Zhong chuckled and reached out to grab the bag of nuclei. With this bag of nuclei, he could definitely raise another Type 2 Mutant Beast. However, it was hard to control a Type 2 Mutant Beast, and he could only choose to raise Lightning to a Type 3 Mutant Beast, before raising the Mutant Leopard Cats under it to a Type 2 Mutant Beast.
"Wait!!"
Right at this time, a young lady's voice sounded out from not too far away. Yue Zhong looked towards the direction of the voice, only to discover a beautiful young lady of about 17 or 18 years of age, dressed in a black Mutant Beast hide. She had an exquisite oval face, and her skin was as white as jade. Her hair was tied up in a single ponytail, and her eyes were filled with vigor. She had a Dark Magic Blade by her waist, and she had a valiant aura about her. She walked over with 6 men escorting her.
Yue Zhong looked at her and arched his brows as he asked: "What's the matter?"
Chen Qianhong spoke with an overbearing tone: "The nuclei in your hands! I'll buy them all! Don't worry, I, Chen Qianhong, will not let you lose out! How much did you use to buy them, I'll pay 3 times the price! "
"3 times!! Damn it!! Damn it!! Why did I sell them so fast! If only I was a little slower! 3 times!! "The stall owner who had just sold the nuclei to Yue Zhong was filled with regret.
Yue Zhong glanced at Chen Qianhong and coldly rejected: "I'm not selling!"
One of the young men standing beside Chen Qianhong, who looked rather handsome and was dressed in branded clothes, frowned, as he barked at Yue Zhong: "Audacious!! Do you know who this person in front of you is? "
Yue Zhong's brows arched, as he asked the young man: "I don't know! I don't want to know either! This is what I bought! Don't tell me you guys want to snatch it? Or should I say, in this Guilin City, there's no law and order! You think you can do whatever you want? "
"You … …" The young man felt that he had lost face after being rebuked by Yue Zhong, and could not help but threaten Yue Zhong.
"Dan Yu!! Don't be rash! He's not wrong! The things are already his! It's his freedom not to sell! We can't force him to sell! " Chen Qianhong waved her hands, and stopped the young man who was about to speak, as she looked at Yue Zhong deeply: "Stinking brat! It's fine if you don't want to sell! You can't even make a meal out of those things! Also! Guilin City is a place with law and order, don't spout nonsense! Let's go! "
Chen Qianhong lectured Yue Zhong in an imposing manner, before glaring at him, before turning around and walking out with the 6 men beside her.
Yue Zhong looked at the imposing and somewhat overbearing Chen Qianhong, and asked the stall owner: "Who is that Chen Qianhong? How arrogant! "
The stall owner tried to persuade Yue Zhong out of goodwill: "You don't even know her? She's the daughter of the mayor of Guilin City, Chen Ying! Although she's a little overbearing, she's still a good person. Everyone who comes here to buy things will pay according to the rules. However, that Dan Yu beside her that you just offended isn't a good person. His father is the director of the Xinyang District Police Station, and he himself has close ties with the Green Bamboo Triad. There were a few people who offended him on this street, and he had gotten people to teach them a lesson. You'd better leave quickly!! "
Yue Zhong had helped the stall owner earn a huge sum today, hence the stall owner was extremely willing to share the information with Yue Zhong.
"Green Bamboo Triad! Interesting!! "Yue Zhong chuckled, and did not put it to heart, as he strode out of the place. Even an evil cult like the Heaven Sect had been destroyed by his hands, so he didn't place a mere triad that was working under the government in his eyes.
Dan Yu followed Chen Qianhong for a while, and when she went to a stall to buy something, he found an excuse to walk to the side.
A man quickly appeared in front of Dan Yu.
Dan Yu looked at the man and ordered coldly: "Go to the Green Bamboo Triad now and get a few men from Boss Zhao. Teach that bastard a lesson! Also, snatch the nuclei from him! Go! "
"Yes! Young Master Dan! "The man quickly replied, and retreated.
Dan Yu looked coldly at the direction Yue Zhong left, and laughed coldly: "Trying to fight with me! Seeking death! "
After strolling around Xinyang 1st Street for a while, he came to the other side of Xinyang 2nd Street. There were also people setting up stalls here, but there were very few of them. There were only about a hundred stall owners, but in front of each stall, there were a large number of people stopping to watch.
Yue arrived in front of a small stall, only to see that the stall owner's stall had a Shadow Steps skill book and an Imitation Tang Sword.
"Level 2 Skill Book Shadow Steps! Only Level 3 Strength Solidification. Or a Level 3 + Strength Treasure! Level 1 Imitation Tang Sword for 50 tonnes of rations! Or a Level 2 + Strength Type Equipment! Don't ask for the price, poor people scram! "
On top of the stall, there were 2 God and Devil System Treasures, as well as a huge piece of cloth.
"This Imitation Tang Sword is too expensive! Can it be cheaper? "
"I'll use 10 tonnes of rations to buy your Shadow Steps Skill Book, how about it?"
"… …"
There were many people surrounding the stall, and they all stopped to take a look, as they tried to haggle. Most of them wanted to use rations to exchange for the 2 God and Devil System Treasures, especially the Imitation Tang Sword, as it was the key to opening the door to Enhancers. The competition was intense, and in the end, a middle-aged man used 50 tonnes of rations to buy the Imitation Tang Sword.
Although there were only about a hundred stall owners on Xinyang 2nd Street, they all took out their precious God and Devil System Treasures to trade or sell in exchange for what they wanted.
In Guilin City, there were close to 900,000 people, and the number of Enhancers had been increasing with the passing of time. Hence, within Guilin City, there was a market for Enhancers to trade. The majority of the items being traded in Xinyang 2nd Street were God and Devil System Treasures, and although most of them were ordinary equipment, it was still an eye-opener for Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong looked around, and stopped in front of a stall, as his eyes flashed with a strange light: "Ah! What a treasure! There are actually people willing to sell such equipment! "
"Level 3 Treasure Sapphire Ring, upon equipping, + 1 to all 6 attributes."
Although the Sapphire Ring gave + 1 to all 6 attributes, the drop rate of this Sapphire Ring was extremely low. Yue Zhong had killed many zombies, and Mutant Beasts had yet to drop. Furthermore, it did not clash with the other rings, and Yue Zhong immediately set his sights on the Sapphire Ring.
Right at this time, a female voice that Yue Zhong had just heard sounded in his ears, as Chen Qianhong walked up to the stall owner, who was wearing a black robe and had a cold expression on her face, and asked: "How much for this Sapphire Ring?"
